The 21 BEST Paleo Ice Cream Recipes

When the temperatures soar, smart moms gather a lot of healthy Paleo ice cream recipes to have on hand when cravings strike! Cool and refreshing, coconut milk ice creams are incredibly delicious and these recipes are healthy to boot!!

How To Make Dairy Free Ice Cream:

The vast majority of these recipes are already dairy free. Depending on your dietary needs of preferences, you may have a hankering for changing things up. As a rule, ultra creamy milks with plenty of fat should be used for the creamiest texture. Here are a few options you should be able to use in place of any cream or milk in an ice cream recipe.

Full fat coconut milk. My favorite brand HANDS DOWN is Savoy. No fillers, no thickeners, amazing flavor, and the whole can is creamy and thick, so no need to separate the fat from the water like in some brands.

How To Make Low Carb or Keto Ice Cream

Generally, in order to make a low carb ice cream….you will need to sub out the sweetener. Luckily there are some excellent low carb sweeteners out there for you to consider!

Lankanto Monkfruit is a great granular sweetener. I powder my own in my Blend Tec if needed! Depending on how much is called for, I usually replace part with stevia glycerite. Lot of people love Swerve, it’s just more expensive.

If maple syrup or brown sugar are called for (rarely) then using a teaspoon or 2 of molasses can provide that caramel flavor along with a regular granular sweetener without adding a ton of carbs (5g/teaspoon)

Replace any chocolate with Lily’s, or a unsweetened variety in conjunction with one of the above mentioned low carb sweeteners.

My Favorite Ice Cream Maker

While there are lots of options out there, I love my Cuisenart electric ice cream maker! Gone are the days of hand churning! I keep my insert in the freezer throughout the summer and can have fresh ice cream ready in 30 minutes! So awesome! My kids use it themselves too!
